- Well, I've found out that in writing, the most useful aids for the
- reader take the most time to write. Since an index is one of the most
- useful aids in using documentation, I would expect it to cost a lot of
- time writing.
-
- ST-guide is nice because it can do some sort of indexing automatically.
- But it only does one-level indexing, and I still have to find a way of
- EXCLUDING some words (that are referenced to from some pages) from the
- index. Too bad Holger didn't finish the Nuetzliche Anweisungen zum
- schreiben einer hypertext ;-) in the docs...
-
- BTW can we postpone this subject a little (as we are now talking about
- the user interface)
